Abstract
Institutional racism in health care negatively impacts health outcomes and quality of life and contributes to health disparities for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities. Studies suggest that training can be efficacious in changing attitudes regarding racism; however, literature on the implementation and outcomes of training for healthcare providers is scarce. The authors describe the development and implementation of a now publicly accessible, experiential antiracist training, Dialogues About Race, and include a vignette to model how this training could be applied in a clinical healthcare setting. Highlighted antiracist strategies aim to facilitate positive changes in healthcare providers’ perceived antiracist knowledge, beliefs/attitudes, and skills. Implications for advancing antiracist training in health care and future applications are also discussed.
